Mother’s Day Apple Cake

A few weeks ago I purchased a new ceramic springform cake pan and prior to today, I had yet to break it in. My mum has been asking me for months now to make an apple cake since she has been craving it. So, I decided to bake her one when my parents went away for a little trip this weekend. She had no idea that I had been planning to make her anything for Mother’s Day and upon completing my baking, I sent her a nice picture of my cake with a little sign saying “Happy Mother’s Day!”

My recipe for the Apple Cake is a mixture of many recipes and is easier than most found online or in cookbooks because I did not want to use many different types of flours or have a recipe involving too many steps.

Apple Cake

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 eggs

3 large Honeycrisp apples (shredded)

1/2 cup Sultana/golden raisins

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine all dry ingredients in one bowl. Mix ingredients until nutmeg and cinnamon evenly distributed throughout flour.

In a separate bowl, cream the brown sugar and butter together.

Add vanilla to creamed sugar and then add one egg at a time to mixture.

Combine the flour mixture slowly into wet ingredients. Make sure all flour is mixed completely into the wet ingredients.
